How is the icon glow option unlocked?

Unbelievably, this has never been determined. Back in the day it was tied to the rainbow trail, when that was the only trail other than the default you could pick. You had to use the rainbow trail to get the glow (or use the black primary colour). Ever since new trails were added, we haven't had anyone confirm how the separate glow option is unlocked.

- Do you have to unlock specifically the rainbow trail to unlock the glow?

- Can you unlock any trail to unlock the glow?

- Is the glow mysteriously unlocked another way?

@Hackey5 I can confirm you can get the glow two ways

Either you:

* Complete 10 map packs to unlock the rainbow trail and switch the glow on in the trails menu. You dont have to enable both - you automatically unlock both when you complete 10 map packs, and you can enable one or the other.

or you:

* Collect 30 secret coins and select primary color black to unlock glow automatically

Does unlocking any other trail before the rainbow trail unlock the glow?

Is specifically the glow checkbox option unlocked when the black primary colour is unlocked?

(Edited by Hackey5)

Rainbow Trail and the Glow Option are obtained after completing 10 Map Packs.

See achivement "Map Packer", it unlocks "special_02" (Rainbow Trail, it is named this way in the AchievementDesc.plist file).

The Glow Option unlocking is never announced in the game, but it unlocks at the same time as the Rainbow Trail.

Getting the achivement for 30 Secret Coins does not unlock the Glow Option.

That being said, unlocking the Rainbow Trail IS NEEDED for the Glow Option to unlocked.

That’s quite definitive. Thanks.

@Keoiki I didn't say collecting 30 secret coins unlocks the glow option, I said collecting 30 secret coins unlocks a primary color (shadow black) that AUTOMATICALLY enables glow when selected. While it doesn't unlock the glow option, it's still a way to get glow around your icons, which is what I was referring to.

* Collect 30 secret coins **and select primary color black to unlock glow automatically**

(Edited by FriedEmerald)

Glow is turned on automatically until you unlock the Rainbow Trail, which gives you a choice for all trails afterwards. Selecting the primary black color makes the glow selected also. Primary black gives you no choice.

What part of "AUTOMATICALLY enables glow when selected" did you not understand?

“Collect 30 secret coins and select primary color black to unlock glow automatically”

You said that it would *unlock* the glow automatically haha.

I am trying to go for doing map packs but the first page map packs are hard because I'm on kindle so if there's an easy map pack to do let me know.
